This bill proposes to establish the Office of the Special Investigator for Competition Matters within the Department of Agriculture. This new office would be led by a Special Investigator, a senior career employee, tasked with enhancing competition and fair trade practices in the food and agriculture sector. The Special Investigator's primary duty involves using all available tools, including subpoenas, to investigate and prosecute violations of the Packers and Stockyards Act of 1921 by packers and live poultry dealers. This includes addressing issues related to competition and trade practices within the industry. The office will also serve as a crucial liaison to the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission on these matters, fostering interagency coordination. Significantly, the bill grants the Special Investigator independent prosecutorial authority to bring civil or administrative actions under the Packers and Stockyards Act. This authority is specifically limited to entities regulated by the Act, ensuring a focused approach to enforcement. The establishment of this office aims to strengthen oversight and enforcement against anti-competitive practices in the meat and poultry industries.
